Gretchen Wilson & Alice in Chains - Barracuda

[harley2die4]

She is awesome.....first time I seen this....OMG

[1solidrocker]

god... she is still so fucking hot .

[radr4lf12]

Gretchen Kicks ass!! and hers Is Awesome:) this Was done in true Original Style:)

[meekrob]

Why can I barely hear Nancy? :(

[bubbleheadft]

@meekrob Cause you're deaf...

[momthrone]

I was quite surprised by this performance, it's spectacular. As both a Heart and AIC fan, it's a great combination. I had never really listened much to Gretchen Wilson as I don't like country, but this is fantastic.

[gnieoalo92]

Gretchen sounds just like Anne,but can she write music like Anne? Have to wait and see I guess.

[tmullenix]

Fucking AWESOME!!!



[litosky211]

Yo py88gt Nback SUX compared to Alice.In fact they SUCK period. Damn Gretchen is HOT but as far as the vocals they are very good but no where near Ann's range. Don't get me wrong it's a strong performance by Nancy, Gretchen And Alice but there's no one in rock period with Ann's vocals. Just my humble opinion!

[HarbingersOfSkulls]

Beats the hell out of the lame ass fergie version any day.

[bubbleheadft]

@HarbingersOfSkulls Anything beats anything by Fergi every day.

[smoke50niggaz]

DAYYUM! She nailed it. Who says smokers ruin their voices.

[TheScorpio333]

is she anns daughter?

[Medic83301]

@TheScorpio333 I think she is by the way they acknowledged each other at 1:33 :)

[emeraldsunsets]

@TheScorpio333 nope no relation whatsoever

[sittinonchrome37101]

good cover but its tuned down for her range lets see her sing it in standard like Ann

[Spacemarine0411]

Now...Tthis rock how it should have been from the start!!!!

[darkmike333]

Fuck. That was seriously badass. Not to ever take anything from Ann (cuz it can't be done!) but Gretchen did a great job. And that was Jerry jamming with Nancy, right? Oh, that lucky bastard!

[garrison0532082]

wow, never knew she had pipes like that! pretty badass. click on my username an check out my page! lots of good rock covers. thank you!

[pt88gt]

Dude don't EVER compare nickelback and alice in chains in the same sentence.... Ever....

[gnieoalo92]

@pt88gt Jerry supports nickelback and has made several live onstage appearances at nickelback shows, sad but true. I hate nickelback but jerry likes them, I know it sucks but you're gonna have to deal with it.

[lreyay]

@gnieoalo92 for real though, people gotta stop being such hipsters! jerry got a lot of shit for supporting them and hes just fuck you fags they kick ass.

[gnieoalo92]

@lreyay You're the fag, bitch homo.

[semitar6]

@pt88gt Amen...

[erbears3]

@pt88gt I wish i could like this comment a thousand times.

[telsport]

Honors HEART with vigor!

Loughlin Utica

[Starskylina87]

Fierce performance I under estimated Gretchen I mean her combining forces with Alice in Chains KICKED MY ASS!! WOW!!

[chilikb]

This kinda shit is what makes youtube great. I love this crossroads type shit. AIC always kicked ass and Gretchen has a better voice than I thought.

[anmana7]

This is a superb cover!!!

[davidvanbogelen]

That girl has some pipes on her.

[kb3331]

wow!! first time i ever saw this . Wow!!!

[gmj2012]

Awesome! <---still speechless....

[Karoke77]

Epic cover.

[TaylorGuitarsPlayer]

That is badass, plain and simple.

[69piplayher]

Holy SHIT! Gretchen Wilson rocked the shit out of that

[bughead3]

wow...my view of her as a silly country fied pop singer has been changed. Too bad she doesn't use that amazing vocal range and power for something other than crap.

[BeanKroc]

I'd like to hear metal album with Gretchen on vocals.

[bgguyy1]

her band played at the Townhouse bar in spfld. mo. and they did this song and other tunes by Heart great then even greater now glad 2 c her in the pre fame days

[humbleranger]

HOLY..sh..t..had NO idea Wilson could rock like this.amazing!

[magictouch822]

I posted the info awhile back..no relation to the Wilson sisters, Gretchen kicked around for awhile Playing rock clubs with her band at the time, Heart was an early influence on her and this was done as a tribute to Heart and with Ann and Nancy's blessing.

[jeffrey34ification]

gretchin is wastin her time singin country music....she is a metal-goddess <3

[cosmicdingo]

And a second career is born.Wonder how many Google searches to see if she's related to Nancy&Anne--

[CUMMINSnDUCKS]

dude this is by far the best cover of anything ever!

[xLexiiPuppyx]

I'm proud to say my roller derby name is Malice In Chains. BEST COVER EVER.

[Bunny50000]

Holy shit that was one of the best covers I've seen!

[akthom]

Damn, she is hot.

[TheSandy0013]

I didn't want to like it because it isn't Heart...but it's quite good!

[1Sifting]

CANTRELL CAN FUCKIN SHRED!!!!

[huora5000]

goosebumps - again

[delano62]

Fuckin' yes!

[TheBrazenHell]

Gretchen on vocal, William on rhythm and backing vox, Alice in Chains as a band... my life is complete!

[ProModChev518]

Gnarley!!!!



[ruedist]

Awesome! Great cover!

[MrJasonbushey]

Holy shit goose pimples on the back of my neck!

[twimaggs]

Serious? I want this in CD version!  Amazing!!

[marky470]

Wow, I overlayed the soundtrack from the video onto the original soundtrack from the Little Queen album and Gretchen's voice is for all practical purposes identical, right down to the inflections. I knew Gretchen sounded great when I watched the show.

[MyChava69]

Bad ass

[laubsch72]

two words-KICK ASS!!!!!!

[jwahh]

Never would have believed it. Good job Gretchen.

[radr4lf12]

They Kick ASS!!!!

[klapdakel2027]

Why do people that obviously don't know shit about music insist on critiquing great songs they know nothing about? It's infuriating

[hifiyouth]

holy shit

[treezrok]

Possibly the most kick ass performance on an MTV award show.

[barblovesmusic]

lip syncing????? That's the funniest thing Ive seen on here.

[BladeLink1011]

@barblovesmusic i have to agree the timing is way off and she sounds a bit too much like heart for a country singer!

[DESTRUCTION10001]

DAMMMMM LOL

[MMluvver]

I am sorry, but after listening to the whole thing, I say she was lip syncing

[sidneykylebowman1]

@MMluvver

You're right. You are sorry.

[MMluvver]

Who is Gretchen Wilson?? Never heard of her!  Damn she can sing!!

[stabyc]

Wow, had no idea she could sing like that!

[garyhodge123]

yeah its kick ass

[67glowbug]

That made me excited.

[guitarbassplayer68]

goddamn that little country firecracker can sing the rock!!

[mofrakker]

Both versions of the vid on utube have a slight sound shift. But sounds awesome nevertheless.

[336kgf]

I watched this video, clicked over to Fergie completely ruin it, and then came back and watched this again. Having a good night. :) Damn, is Gretchen Wilson smoking hot.

[JosefStalinbro]

I shat my pants in amazement. i think i'm going to sit here with dirty drawers and listen to this a few more times.

[clocktime11]

this kicks arse....that chick was channeling nancy wilson......gave me chills up my spine.....

[dragonessa1978]

@clocktime11 you mean Ann Wilson. lol. Nancy is her sister, and plays guitar, but yeah, this is awesome!

[indyracingnut]

Gretchen knocked this one WAY out of the park!!! Plus I love the footage of Jerry Cantrell & Nancy Wilson trading guitar licks there toward the end...Absolute rock n roll gold, this is.

[mcgregordaniel1]

OMG So fucking cool!!!

[UrbanTiger74]

wow Wow and WOW!!!!

[midatlanticcycle]

this country chick rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WrestlingBC12]

Woulda been cool if Layne coulda been there....not that she can't handle the song great entirely by herself

[leonovi]

Wow... I used to hate this song... After listening this version I changed my opinion about it.... Country girl can ROCK!

[fett22]

@leonovi WTH? She sounds just like Ann the original singer. This is as dead on as you can get in tone, pitch, prosody, and attitude. Nothing to do with country, its a well written classic.

[srfwidow]

makes me wanna be a rock star

[tchimmerroks]

SPOT-ON!!!

[tabrisbiebr20098]

They sound just like Heart!!! :D

[TheBrazenHell]

@tabrisbiebr20098 A Grunge Alt-Country version. ;)

[hawaiianstyler]

Gretchen can ROCK!!!!!

And with Alice behind her, not to mention

Nancy, holy shit! The best cover of a iconic rock tune.

[JJnny]

@hawaiianstyler Amen



[rockofhysteria]

@hawaiianstyler You think that's good?? you should check out Nickelback's Version of ZZ Top's Sharp Dressed Man from the same show

[hawaiianstyler]

@rockofhysteria I have, I like that cover too.

[brunoseverin]

WOW! WOW WOW! Gretchen can really ROCK!! One of the VERY best versions of Barracuda I've ever heard! WOW!

[TrishaAnn1961]

@brunoseverin totally agree

[classicalheadbanger]

3:00 , Drooooool  hahah, this is an awesome cover!

[sistaofthemoon]

it's a great song with Nancy's help

[Paul8820]

The best cover of this song probably ever.

[55cabgirl]

shes pretty good with her vocals tho dont hate celebrate!

[ssm8727]

Damn Gretchen! Much love, I will have to follow your music after that performance.

[StacyStonesMusic]

Gretchen never lets us down!

[dooshbayg]

gretchen n chains , i love it, lol

[stupidhurts13]

i get the chills every friggin time i come across this song. they were sent here from another planet just for our entertainment. they totally vibrate on a whole different level.

[imdan1182]

damn Gretchen is hot here and i got more respect for her after this cover...and bet shes fun to party with

[Thirdgen83]

Gretchen ROCKS...

[603popoman]

Holy Crap!! Gretchen NAILS this song!!!!

[dadoobaboon]

gretchen can sing her ass off.

[gomerpilot]

Gretchen is awesome. shoulda been a rock singer. as for fergie her version sucked, kinda like when brittany spears butchered "i love rock n roll"

[poln8r61]

This video just gave mean anneurism!

[jwiwood]

Ann's vocals are hard to compete with. You do an awesome job. Nancy is my personal "guitar hero" lol



[mtburke1313]

Nancy Wilson still has it. She is also incredibly hot for her age. No offense to Gretchen Wilson of course.

[mrhippy100]

@mtburke1313 Yeah! and I bet she smells good too. : )

[dav1099]

wow very nice!!!!

[dmarie0791]

this is one of her finest performances, i hope this does her proud.

[jussaguy1]

She was surprisingly good.Love AIC.Sorry silly sucka,Gretchen did a wonderful homage to Ann,in no way better,child

[Aarondog85]

layne staley wouldnt of let this happen : (

[Paul8820]

@Aarondog85 Layne Staley has nothing to do with this this is not even Alice in Chains song

[Gar70ful]

Got the pleasure to watch this when it was live on VH1

[grayhounddogg402]

wow kick ass performance..... nice replacement for Layne..... JUST KIDDING!!!

[rusty5150]

Holy shit Gretchen should've been a rocker.

[jaydjosey]

Best thing I've ever heard come outta her mouth!!!

[mrlayhee]

WoW lol that was awesome!

[7182001]

Gretchen Rocks! Click on my page and listen to me sing this with the Big Sam Band at a local Texaco Country Showdown after the event was over.

[Tzanas1970]

Chick's got Pipes!!! No Argument!!!

[twoaxis88]

she fucking rocked it!

[ghostwhiskey]

spot on guys and girl

[chulamia628]

Who KNEW!?? Mad props Gretchen!!

[lc44906]

Gretchen Wilson, Nancy Wilson & Alice in Chains... .Woo Hoo! BEST cover of this song ever in my opinion. Gretchen definitely has Anne's voice nailed down on thsi song. Jerry Cantrell's guitar work & solo are far better than Howard Leese's and he was an original member of Heart. Hah! Big time thank you for posting this!!!

[7876Robby]

Gretchen meets Rock !!!! AWESOME !!!!!!

[xxavier2]

Gretchen's take on Barracuda is one of the best cover yet, hard to beat. !!!!

[bluntslide12]

Fucking quality cover right there. So good.

[Angelbabie96]

Very nice in my opinion

[thorn1174us]

Redneck Woman jumped thed the fence that night and totallt rocked out sounds like a cross between Ann Wilson and Janis Joplin awesome

[ustna]

Awesome

[bigmike7379]

and u notice nancy right there playing with them very cool

[ricochetlaugh]

fuck .. that's why this cover sounds so kick ass...

ALICE IN CHAINS is taking the stage

[hanklove4ever]

Damn!!!!! HEART should be proud!!!! What a compliment!!!! ANNE IS HOT AND SO IS GRETCHEN...I would have to flip a coin to decide which one I would get it on with.....HARD CHOICE!!!!! I love you, ANNE.....MARRY ME ANN WILSON, I'LL FLY FROM D.C. TO GET TO YA!!!!!!!!!Hank Love ( musician )

[bigmike7379]

@hanklove4ever anne was the brunette Nancy was the Blonde who u mean?

[wagonmaster1974]

@hanklove4ever If you love her so much, why don't you learn to spell Ann's name - note, no "e."

[rootsbloodyroots3]

Fuck me can that chick sing!

[elmofreak4u]

Most covers aren't as good as the original, but Gretchen ROCKS this!!!

[336kgf]

@elmofreak4u Amen. Gretchen fucking NAILED it perfectly. What would have been perfect is to see Anne come up on stage and hit the second verse. Dueling female wailing vocalists. :)

[TheCrazedGuitarist]

She's hawt

[mymisterman12]

You can really tell she's a country girl!

[flabbychicken17]

wholly crap! she rocks!

[arkythirdrock]

she rocks just like heart or better

[603Crawler]

50 people are deaf.

Ferocious!

[603popoman]

This video ROCKS!!!! Gretchen is AWSOME with this song!!!

[santatigerclaus]

how much rehearsal did this take? is that Nancy ? the sweet little blonde? i saw her at MSU- wish they would have recorded that night ----

[Vatch1966]

Nancy Wilson still looks hot at 57

[Booshty2]

A "third" Wilson singing this song yay coolies. Let alone Gretchen got a hole in one with this version.......

[nowitsfound]

Holy crap, didn't see this one.

[vauman1]

Whoauh , thats what Girls are for ^^

she realy kick assss

[vauman1]

Whoauh , thats what Girls are for ^^

[TheMaverickChristian]

Its hard to tell the difference between her and anne wilson

[marketweis]

@TheMaverickChristian

Well, not really, but Gretchen did rock this out!

[CosmikDebrisFZ]

@TheMaverickChristian Yep, they are close. Played this through my home stereo and it sounds even more amazing.

[neonightkiller]

Gretchen in Chains!!

[thclsddmt147]

such a powerful voice

[MrDanhoffman]

both fergie and gretchin versions are smokin hot love sexy women that can sing

[MrDanhoffman]

unbelivable performance so hot

[princesstna925]

only thing missing is Mike :(

[Doomzdayxx]

Wow they knocked this one out of the park

[a1scooter1]

Fergie Sucks!

[Sailor231]

Fucking love hot rock chicks who can actually rock.

[LuckyCharmStudio]

Gretchen can hold her own. Great performance.

[Mr100159]

This is the only song I think she pretty much nails....of coarse, having AIC backing you up helps............

[brianthedesigner]

Wow, she hit it out of the park, not to mention AIC nailed every single note too.

[jcparker500]

Damn! I saw it was Gretchen Wilson and was like, "uuuuuuh", and then I heard this and was like "Woooooow"! She nailed it!

[2WP36]

At first, I thought, there's NO way Gretchen can do justice to this song. I was wrong. Wow, was I wrong! That was incredible.

[MultiDenniBoy]

Great

[rickysrejects]

beware entering the jaws of country chomp chomp

[levi501ish]

Its funny, because when i first heard Gretchen , I found her to sound similar to heart, and then it all came true! she is just like heart! I knew there was a connection..

[kiki36811]

I LOVE HER!!!!

[fras1788]

Better than Fergie's version...wow.

[rob2283]

@fras1788 Hell yeah it is... Gretchen and AIC rocked it like no other... I wished I could have been when this performance took place

[whazupsuckafish]

what can you say , but RIGHT ON

[WalksThroughLife]

Great voice!

[xsited1]

Wow! Hard to beat Ann on vocals, but Gretchen did a great job.

[Droogie128]

Must be a Wilson thing.

[bmaguire1981]

Doesn't get much more bad-ass than this.... except maybe if you just added Slash just for shits and giggles.
